Welcome to EA/Studio Business Modeler Edition 1.5.2

Thank you for using Embarcadero's EA/Studio Business Process Modeler Edition 1.5.2. This is a tool for creating a graphical representation of your business
from the core concepts that describe the business, to the processes that run the
business. EA/Studio's Process Modeling capabilities allow you to easily model
your business processes and model how those processes use data. EA/Studio
Conceptual Modeling provides an intuitive way to outline subject areas and
concepts that can then drive the creation of detailed data models.

Getting Started

There are several tools available to help you get started with
EA/Studio:

Once you install EA/Studio you can import and open the sample compressed workspace
that is included with the install (x:\Program Files\Embarcadero\EAStudio Business Modeler Edition 1.5.2\samples\Workspaces\Waterfront Bank). Go to File>Import>Workspace from the main menu.

Change in Licensing Procedure: New software licensing technology and processes have been
implemented for the 1.5.2 release. Workstation licenses are now tied to a user account on our new Developer Network.
Concurrent (or floating) licenses use the Embarcadero License Center (ELC). For more information
consult the EA/Studio Installation Guide available on the Embarcadero website at http://www.embarcadero.com/products/eastudio/eastudio_docs.html.

ER/Studio models imported to EA/Studio must be generated in ER/Studio 7.0 or above.

Imported Visio models must be created in Microsoft® Office Visio® 2003 or 2007.

Known Issues

Listed below are some of the known technical issues in EA/Studio Business Modeler Edition 1.5.2.

Conceptual Model Update from ER/Studio

Only the elements that were originally created by importing the ER model are updated. Any elements that are created in
EA/Studio are not updated with information imported from the ER model. For example, you have created an entity named “EntityOne” in EA/Studio.
If you import an ER model with an entity with the same name containing attributes and descriptions, those attributes and descriptions are not
added to the existing EA/Studio entity.

Upgrading Workspaces

When upgrading 1.0, 1.1, and 1.5 workspaces to 1.5.1, existing Impact Analysis diagrams cannot
be updated by selecting the "Update Impact Analysis" menu. The diagram must be regenerated from the source element.

Exporting Bound Business Attributes

When exporting to ER/Studio, business attributes with their datatype/description/notes properties
enforced, and which are bound to business elements or domains, create ER domains which allow attributes to override their
datatype/description/notes. If those domains are then imported back into EA/Studio, the created business elements and/or
domains will not enforce these properties. The workaround is to reset the enforcement options from the Properties View for
the business element/domain.
